Tag Archives: Echino Fabric

I made this personalized luggage tag with Echino Decoro Fabric “Buck Turquoise” and Dear Stella “Honey Crisp/Twiggy Brown”. It was my first project with a button hole. My new sewing machine makes this a breeze! The button hole makes the perfect way to attach the ribbon.

I found a very helpful tutorial from Soubelles that includes step-by-step directions.

This print makes me giggle! I love this Buck in eyeglasses!

Adding a little whimsy to your kitchen is easy with this project! I found an interesting way to embellish kitchen towels to add some jazz to an otherwise plain ole’ towel. For some inspiration, I found the this tutorial helpful on Sew4Home that includes detailed measurement suggestions and technique tips.

As a special Father’s Day present, I embellished two kitchen towels for my Dad. He recently renovated his kitchen, so accessorizing now is a must! He loves using blue accents. I thought this Echino “Buck with Glasses” Fabric was perfect for my Dad – the avid deer hunter and father of 2 eyeglass-wearing daughters. 8)

I found a complementary fabric of beige bubbles at my local JoAnn store. I used it to trim the blue Echino print and add a soft detail to the kitchen towels. The towels are 100% cotton Room Essentials brand from Target and measure 16 inches by 26 inches. The subtle lattice detail in the towels adds another layer of texture.

I added a special embroidery on one towel for my special gift recipient. My new sewing machine, Brother PC 420, has so many fun options for decorative stitches and lettering. It was a fun experiment!

I decided to make two different designs, as seen here. It was fun to alternate the fabric dimensions a bit.
